Actually I completely forgot to nominate Mirror's Edge and I feel bad about it.
I... can't remember if I voted for Mirror's Edge. I feel like I didn't, and I am horribly disappointed in myself for it if that is the case. It had been so long since I played that game (and I don't actually own a copy) that I kind of didn't think about it as I was looking through my games to see what I'd vote for.
RECOUNT: All the people who forgot to nominate Mirror's Edge nominate it now; watch as it wins the entire thing.
If all of us had remembered to nominate Mirror's Edge, then it would have been #1 with no competition. I hope we are all pleased with ourselves.
It was me. I couldn't get past the tutorial on the game so I made sure you all forgot to nominate it to attain the pettiest revenge in forum history.
This.
I believe MILF fielded this one earlier. And I'm really not sure that one unit per tile makes combat more tolerable when enough units makes movement more of a pain, and the combat rarely boils down to more than "build best units I can and throw them at the enemy." Sure, there's a bit more to it than that in pretty much every Civ, but the combat is boring. Always has been, probably always will be unless they're going to turn the series into a turn based strategy with some 4X elements tacked on.
But warfare didn't get more tolerable, it got demonstrably worse, as that link I linked explained. 1UPT is the single worst decision Civ has ever made, fundamentally because it's not a grognardy wargame like Gary Grigsby's War in the East, it's a grand strategic/management game with elements of war. It didn't even fix warfare, is my point.
You guys Mirror's Edge is great you suck :(
Maybe not P4 but all of those other games I didn't personally like as much. Especially Skyrim. It's amazing how a game can be so vast and detailed and totally lifeless at the same time. I mean every NPC has this detailed routine and there's so much thought and love put into everything and yet there is no personality to any of it and I got so booooored. I play Skyrim and I'm like, "I could have gone outside today."
Skyrim actually has a lot more personality than people give it credit for but on the other hand I'm an Elder Scrolls lore nerd so I know the story and importance behind eeeeeeeeeeverything and that gives it a lot of feeling.
